-HARITH-
I, Alucard and Granger went to my house (because they both insisted to help me pack) while Angela and Tigreal are guarding the statue. Hopefully, they guard it well! My ancestors traveled around the whole Land of Dawn just to find the materials for the statue. And Those materials are literally expensive. The crown is made with solid gold which was taken from Moniya, the silk from the dress was a gift by Lady Kagura and Lady Hanabi, And the dress was sewn and embroidered by the prestigious Baroque family, Specifically, Princess Guinivere's great-great-great-grandmother. The glistening eyes were taken from the Eruditio, The dolorous heart, with seven daggers attached and embellished with different precious stones, came from the Celestial Palace. And the
Unburnable wood from here, my home.
Anyways, I was at my house, which is was a tree, with a portion hollowed up and sculpted for a living space.
"Harith, why is your house filled with woodcarvings?" Alucard asked me.
"Hmm, I have recognized that these patterns we're sculpted from the design of the Baroque era." Granger added.
"Well, as you can see, some of my ancestors were great woodcarvers. That's why you could see lots of patterns, designs and embellishments." I said.
"Some? What about the others?" Alucard asked.
They have various jobs. My family is known here to have prestige in the Music and Arts. Some of them were medical professionals, but only a few were mages. Each Leonin born has exactly a unique power. It's up to them, if they would pursue magic, or study or their professional life to work for the empire. But after The Great Abyssal Threat, they were forced away in hiding, into the deep portions of the enchanted forest. So evil would never use us for their purposes. I decided to take both, A master in magic, and soon to be a doctor."
"Well, wow! You could bring a lot of help to the empire!" Alucard said.
"And what about music?" Granger asked.
"Well, I've studied how to play different instruments as a hobby when I'm lonely. Usually, when my only friend is away. I can play the violin, harpsichord, piano, guitar, mandolin, trumpet, French horn, and many more. But there is one instrument that I can carry anywhere with me. It could be light and heavy at some times."
"What is it?" They both asked.
"My voice. Ranging from C2 to C8 so I could sing any aria with ease." I said.
"We want to hear you sing!" Alucard said.
"Okay, okay! I'll sing. Help me pack first and you will hear my voice when we reach the Pavillion in the Sakura Gardens."
I replied.
So we packed and sent back towards the sakura gardens.
"Sing now! Sing now!" Angela said.
Okay fine! I sent into the center of the pavillion, right in front of the statue, but me facing the audience. I sat down and closed my eyes, and then I started to sing... To sing a song about my lamentations.
(Italian lyrics)
Lachia ch'io piangia
Mio cruda sorte,
E che sospiri
La libertà!
Laschia ch'io piangia
Mio cruda sorte,
E che sospiri
La libertà
Il duolo infranga
Queste ritorte,
De' miei martiri
Sol per pietá
De' muei martiri
Sol per pietá
Laschia ch'io piangia
Mio cruda sorte,
E che sospiri
La libertà
(English lyrics)
Oh let me weep now!
My cruel fate!
And that I should
Have freedom!
Oh let me weep now!
My cruel fate!
And that I should
Have freedom!
The duel infringes!
Within these twisted places,
In my sufferrings
I pray for mercy!
In my sufferrings
I pray for mercy!
Oh, let me weep now
My cruel fate,
And that I should
Have freedom!
I sung this song in Italian, one of the languages I know but they almost don't. I sung it in this language so that they won't know how cruel was my fate!
-ALUCARD-
Well, Harith is singing a song in a language I don't know! But I'm sure he had a beautiful voice.
-GRANGER-
That aria! It's beautiful, but mostly sad. His lyrics explains his lament over his cruel fate. I do understand italian. His voice... It has wonderful projection, I would describe it as a voice of a child! Had his singing voice undergone puberty? His falsetto is majestic! Wait... Is he a castrato?
-TIGREAL-
Why did Alucard made him sing? His voice made me sleepy! But wait...
"His necklace is glowing, and so is the dolorous heart!" I whispered to Angela.
"True. And the falling cherry blossom petals are circling around him as his tears drip from his eyes. I could tell you this tigreal... His voice is powerful. It's a gift and also a weapon!" she replied.
"A weapon? How?" I asked.
"I don't know how, but let's wait and see when he will unlock the glory of his voice and use it as a weapon. Buti what I know and noticed, is his voice has a high power level. Capable enough to be destructive!" she said
"I see. We will find out when the time is right." I replied.
